    ‘Starship Troopers.’ Hero gets a snail mail via starship. I never read it myself, but there’s one form the 1930’s where they land on an alien planet and explore it in a prop plane

      Neelix goes around handing people PADDs of their mail but that’s because Neelix is terrible not because of any technological necessity.

        It’s like when my boss sends me an email and then comes over to my desk to tell me he sent me an email.

        Yeah, I know. It was 10 seconds ago. Go away.

          At least he doesn’t hand you a printed copy"if you don’t want to read it on the screen" too!
